    Hi TheRob 

     

    If its an issue of character count, one possibility is to use a third party service to create shortlinks. So rather than save the full link you can save and use the shortlink, which acts as a redirect to the longer link. There are a number of third party sites that offer this as a service.

     

    As an alternative you could potentially save the URLs in the Notes field of the item. This is unfortunately not an exportable field, however does have a longer length.
